The Great White Brotherhood: In the Culture, History and Religion of America

As I read through this book, I began to realize I was finding my purpose physically, mentally and spiritually. "Great White Brotherhood" unlocked the mysteries I've been searching for most of my life. The cover of the book caught my eye. It was a painting done by Nicholas Roerich, entitled, "Star of the Hero". His wife Helena was a follower of El Morya. If you want to know the true Culture, History and Religion of America, I recommend this book. As an added footnote, there's a chapter on the "Cosmic Secret Service" called "K-17". As you know the number 17 in the alphabet is "Q". Coincidence?

This is an incredible book about the conference on Mount Shasta in 1975 a focus of the Great White Brotherhood. It is filled with dictations, lectures, mantras , and meditations of the ascended masters. Everyone has to have this book.

too much ego in the book

I am currently reading this book but have read many of Elizabeth Clare Prophet's books which I find very helpful for gaining knowledge of the Ascended Masters and the ascension . This book will be helpful for anyone interested in expanding their consciousness and gaining self-mastery .

This is a report of the I AM Organization meeting held at Mt. Shasta in 1975. I purchased it for friends who live in that area and follow St. Germaine. They were delighted to receive it. There are speeches by Clare Profit with photographs of the different events that took place

I was looking forward to interesting facts concerning the title, but it is a bit long, as a recording of a presentation by Ms. Prophet. I found it too long and rambling, more of an enthusiastic motivational, reflective style.. perhaps I have read so many books of this genre that this book was not as fulfilling in content.

great book about self growth with love and light

Elizabeth Clare Prophet (1939-2009) founded The Summit Lighthouse with her husband Mark Prophet (1918-1973), which became the Church Universal and Triumphant in 1975. The Church lost members after her failed prophecies of nuclear war in the 1980s-1990s, and Alzheimer's Disease caused her to retire from the ministry in 1999. She/they wrote other books, such as  Climb the highest mountain: The Everlasting Gospel , Prophecy for the 1980s , The Science Of The Spoken Word , The Lost Years of Jesus , The Lost Teachings Of Jesus , etc. Her daughter Erin also wrote  Prophet's Daughter: My Life with Elizabeth Clare Prophet Inside the Church Universal and Triumphant .She wrote in the Introduction to this 1976 book, "America's place in the destiny of the cosmos comes to the fore under the influence of the hierarchy of Aquarius... Drawn from every nation, from every lifewave and evolution, the American people are chosen as the standard-bearers of an age---not by the favoritism of an anthropomorphic God, but by the choice of a free-will God-ordained. The elect of the Lord are those who elect to be the instruments of the Lord... America is an experiment of the Great White Brotherhood... There is nothing automatic about the fulfillment of a cosmic destiny. America is simply opportunity, the gift of freedom... If indeed there is to be a cosmic destiny forged and won on this continent, it will be because this people have made the work of the ages their own." (Pg. v-vii)She explains, "An ascended master, then, is one who, like Gautama and Maitreya, Jesus or Confucius or any master you can name, has chosen at a certain moment to be free." (Pg. 26) She later adds, "We have defined 'ascended masters' today as those who've mastered time and space, passed their initiations, balanced at least 51 percent of their karma, and ascended into the Presence of the I AM THAT I AM to become immortal God-free beings. We have said that these masters comprise the Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood---the fraternity of saints who have pledged to serve mankind until all mankind are free in the ritual of the ascension." (Pg. 59)She says, "The knowledge of the I AM presence was first revealed in the 1920s and 30s by Godfre [Ray King; see  Unveiled Mysteries , etc.], who will speak to us in a dictation this afternoon. He delivered to America and to all mankind the message of Saint Germain, the master of the Aquarian Age, that you and you and you have an individualized God Presence." (Pg. 39) She adds, "[in 1961] I was contacted by El Morya... and also called to be trained as a messenger. I was introduced to Mark Prophet. He became the instrument of my training under El Morya and Saint Germain... I was ordained by the master Saint Germain to represent him and to complete the mission of beloved Godfre Ray King (Guy Ballard)." (Pg. 60-61) Later, she says, "The Summit Lighthouse in the heart of Morya... He contacted his representative Mark L. Prophet in 1958... and said, 'go to Washington, D.C., and found the Summit Lighthouse!'... The Summit Lighthouse was founded to set forth the law, cosmic law, for the Aquarian cycle." (Pg. 292-293) Still later, she says, "Summit University is sponsored by Gautama Buddha." (PG. 274)She suggests, "There have been great, great women in the history of America who have figured as patriarchs of the law... One outstanding woman who set the law of a new dispensation of teaching is Mary Baker Eddy, who sat at the feet of Jesus as Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus. She set forth in the 1800s a teaching on the science of the immaculate concept..." (Pg. 125) Significantly, she asserts, "Now there are some who say that sacred scripture is the absolute Word of God. Well, where it is the Word of God, it is the Word of God. Where it isn't there, it isn't there... people try to piece together a theology and a doctrine that they say we cannot stray from, when they do not have the whole writing of the law and the Word." (Pg. 255)She also asserts, "The cult of the Mother, destined to come into prominence in the twentieth century, was the foundation of the civilization of Lemuria. The fall of Mu was the direct result of the Fall of Man, which reached its lowest point in the desecration of the shrines to the Cosmic Virgin." (Pg. 166) She adds, "Antichrist and the fallen ones have had their day... Their consciousness contributed to the wickedness that was accomplished in the days of Atlantis, which led finally to the edict that went forth from the Lords of Karma that resulted in teh flood, the sinking of Atlantis." (Pg. 244-245)This book is one of Prophet's most detailed "doctrinal" books. It will be of interest to anyone studying the Church Universal and Triumphant, or other "Ascended Masters" teachings.

Received! Very happy with purchase!
